This image is a picture of Herbert Spencer, an early functionalist who is best known for his idea of “survival of the fittest.” I chose this photo because it pertains to the overlooked part of the functionalist perspective, the evolutionary theory. Herbert Spencer conducted ideas in the evolutionary theory and helped establish new perspectives for all functionalists. This photo pertains to our textbook because it gives Herbert Spencer credit for further investigating different ideas of the evolution theory. Alex Thio mentions that Herbert Spencer had quite a hand in the meaning of what the functionalist perspective is, “He believed that all that societies followed uniform, natural laws of evolution,” (Thio 417).

I chose this ad because in my opinion, it is a perfect example of how our future is shaping in the United States. Airports and their security technology is so advanced nowadays and will be even more advanced in our future, that security will be extremely thorough and tight. According to Thio, "Moreover, Americans will learn to get used to the inconvenience of longer security checks at airports and other places,” (Thio 424). In our future, technology overall allows things like security to be much more efficient for Americans, and even other people all around the world.

I chose this cartoon because it fits in perfectly with our society today versus how it used to be. Many female students in school now can relate to this cartoon, even myself. This image relates to our textbook because it shows that there are more women earning bachelor degrees than men, which used to be the other way around in our past history. According to Thio, women have outnumbered men in this category, “Women now outnumber men in earning bachelor degrees…” (Thio 422). This graph and the textbook both prove how our society has changed not just economically and socially, but educationally.

I chose this image because I thought it was both funny and interesting to interpret at the hand of the Symbolic Interactionist Perspective. We can see that multiple people are wearing pictures of happy faces in a frame on their own faces, while another person looks to be stunned. This relates to the Symbolic Interactionist Perspective in our textbook because it deals with multiple people interacting with each other, or “playing along,” with the “framed faces.” Thio defines this perspective exactly as this picture is illustrated, “According to the symbolic interactionism, human beings actively interpret the world around them and then act in accordance with the interpretation,” (Thio 420).

I chose this quote by Karl Marx because it strictly relates to how he thought of conflict, or in other words, class struggles. Karl Marx believed that without conflict, society cannot be of revolutionary change. According to Thio, Karl Marx came up with this sort of idea he called the Conflict Theory, “...society is always marked by conflict, and conflict is the key to revolutionary change,” (Thio 419). When he says, “the history of class struggles,” Marx is referring to conflict and without conflict, there is no change, and without change there is no history.

I chose this quote because it strictly establishes what modernization means. Camille Paglia, an author, teacher and social critic shows from this quote that she supports the definition of modernization. From our textbook, “...modernization is the form of social change that involves the transformation of an agricultural society into an industrial one,” (Thio 415). This quote connects with our chapter because it emphasizes one of the main ideas of social change that Chapter 15 represents: modernization.

I chose this article because it shows what can happen to people, situations and our society when mass hysteria is involved. This article exemplifies the effects that mass hysteria can have on a large amount of people. This article, furthermore connects with our chapter because it shows what simple suggestions can do to a normal environment, like a school. According to Thio, mass hysteria creates hype from the most bizarre scenarios, “...in which numerous people engage in a frenzied activity without bothering to check the source of their fear,” (Thio 407).
